Environment

Protecting and preserving our Mother nature is more important now than ever. With the serious climate change happening around the world, it is imperative that every single individual take a step forward to make a change.

We do not only embark on initiatives towards cleaning and preserving our environment, but also call upon others to do the same through various awareness programmes. We are fully committed to building a safe, conducive and more sustainable tomorrow for our future generations.

Supporting animal well-being

Our Hartanians soared into action for a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative at Zoo Negara Malaysia. A team of 30 dedicated Hartanians joined forces with Wildhaven Zoo members − a group of students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia who are passionate about animal welfare − to assist the zookeepers in providing top-notch care for the animals. From meticulous enclosure cleaning to husbandry, animal behavioural enriching activities to food preparation, the volunteers played a vital role throughout the day in supporting animal well-being. Aside from that, Hartalega also installed 50 benches around Zoo Negara's surroundings, for the convenience of visitors.

At Hartalega, we want to continuously carry out our commitment to help protect and preserve mother nature. It is imperative that every individual takes a step forward to make a change and we are fully committed to building a safe, conducive, and more sustainable tomorrow for our future generations.

Inspirasi Kawa – Planting of mangrove saplings

Hartalega and Inspirasi Kawa teamed up to plant 100 mangrove saplings at the Paya Bakau Recreation Park Sijangkang in Selangor. A total of 70 dedicated Hartanians volunteered to plant the trees as part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme.

During the activity, we discovered that it wasn’t just about planting trees, it's about caring for the environment! Mangroves are important for our country's ecosystem − helping to protect our coastlines and provide habitats for many animals. And each tree planted represents a step towards a more sustainable future.

Protecting and preserving Mother Nature is more important now than ever and we are delighted to be a part of this meaningful act of conservation. Together, we can contribute to building a safer and more sustainable planet for future generations!

River cleaning and watering nurseries

We teamed up to become ‘river warriors’ − cleaning up the river downstream at the Firefly Jetty Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor to ensure its pristine state.

A total of 40 committed Hartanians volunteered in the impactful river cleanup programme, which resulted in the removal of 200kg of debris! In addition, our colleagues also engaged in other environment nurturing activities which included watering the nurseries and learning the essential care techniques of Berembang and Palm Trees — integral habitats for fireflies.

Environmental sustainability is vital to support the health of the planet and livelihoods of communities, while subsequently ensuring that the world’s precious natural resources are preserved for future generations. This programme underscores our commitment not only to environmental preservation but also to creating a sustainable haven for the captivating fireflies that rely on these trees for their habitat.

Inspirasi Kawa - Gotong-royong at Hartalega trail

To enhance environmental literacy among local youth in the communities near our operations, such as Kuala Selangor, Ijok and Bestari Jaya, Yayasan Hartalega continued to collaborate with social enterprise Inspirasi KAWA for the third consecutive year, encouraging youth participation in biodiversity conservation efforts. This year, our focus was on monitoring water quality in Bestari Jaya, adopting the Place-Based Citizen Science (PBCS) approach.

Through this, we aim to design a PBCS programme based on the Eco-Heart Index as a citizen science tool to maintain water quality levels, where communities including youth will be able to participate in field collection of water quality monitoring data. Moving forward, the project will include water preservation and conservation programme
